If the positive news and feelgood factor continues over the summer with MLT prominent and the investor's identity being weclomed then I would expect a crowd of 23K+ for the first home game. If performances are decent this will be sustained and possibly grow. I expect the corners will be open, with the possible exception of the one between the Chapel and the Itchen as, frankly, it is utterly pointless unless the rest of the ground is full.

Not at all sad to see him leave but £400k is too cheap and should not be accepted if it's no longer a neccessity to do so. Worth about £700k IMO.

I like the way Fry is now getting slated. Have we or have we not had, ostensibly at least, a good result? Oh and FFS, can we be spared the nauseating piety for a while please. Cheers.

Without wishing to be premature, if this all comes off then, judging by Tony Lynam's letter, it will be in large part down to the belief, steadfastness, dependability and hard work of Matt Le Tissier. I was extremely fortunate to be just the right age to start supporting Saints as Matt was emerging. For me, and I'm sure a lot of others, nearly all my fondest memories of Saints involve Matt Le Tiss - we haven't had a player that can come anwyhere near to him for service to the club and entertaining the fans since and we probably never will again. Now, it seems he's played a major role in our survival. Matt, thanks for the goals, thanks for the memories, thanks for the future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwZI5MlxKVQ&feature=PlayList&p=2C060D1CF231CD19&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=100

Oh Christ! It's Mike Wilde in disguise

Or... we could have just sold a player in January and none of this would have happened. FFS - has everyone turned French?

The ****s don't reply to their emails.

Antiiiiii Niiiiiiiiaaaaaayyyyyyy-mmeeeeeeeeee

According to Pompey's website, due dilligence hasn't finished yet. I'm not saying it won't - the guy is clearly mental if he wants to waste loads of money on that disgusting relic - just that it hasn't yet

FCEK.

Depends. Could be a Hungarian feeder club, could be Jack Boyle, could be Paul Allen.

The best PM was the one LifelongSaint sent which said, amongst other things, that the PLC was buying its own shares to allow Paul Allen to come in unchallenegd within days. I pointed out this was: impossible illegal pointless but he seemed quite taken with it.

At low tide presumably?

!!!

Thank goodness that's been cleared up.

What?

Yes, Anthony Salz corporate lawyer and former Managing Partner of one of The City's "Magic Cirlcle" law firms is Mickey Mouse, but Marc/Mark Jackson, photocopier fiddler and phantom football bigwig is the real deal and much more of an expert on M&A.

Actually, no! I think that post is spot on and that most people giving McGoldrick a hard time are plonkers.

This is obviously correct. Anyone who disagrees is a plonker.

I think it's fair to say it's a working premise of this thread.

He's still massively overrated IMO anyway.

If some mega-rich impresario is behind it, it does kind of beg the question of why a bumbling, embarrassing, amateur is the public face though?
